Obama faces school speech criticism
WZVN-TV ^ | 9/4/2009 | Staff

Posted on 09/04/2009 4:25:46 AM PDT by Notwithstanding

We’re told Lee County schools will tape the message, then decide whether to show it to students.

Charlotte County schools will allow teachers to make the call, but parents can prevent their kids from watching.

In Collier County, students will not be watching to speech, but the school district will post it online.

Remember, Obama was partners with revolutionary communist/terrorist, Bill Ayers, at the Annenberg Challenge in Chicago.

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

"Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

The idea of posting the speech on line makes the most sense.

“Tape” the message? lol I think it will be streamed from Whitehouse.gov and no doubt archived there.

That means we can all capture the stream and use the material copyright free in ‘10 and ‘12!

Obama’s Little Blue Book and the Egg of Power
By Michelle Malkin, January 26, 2009

Tons of people have e-mailed about the Little Blue Book of Obama sayings that a firm called the History Company is hawking on its website. Yes, they really are selling them in 10-packs for $49.50 — and yes, the resemblance to Mao’s Little Red Book is striking. Weirdly, “Pocket Obama” has a plain blank cover and smacks of a gag — especially the last line [it was not a gag -etl]:

"Printed in a size that easily fits into pocket or purse, this book is an anthology of quotations borrowed from Barack Obama’s speeches and writings. POCKET OBAMA serves as a reminder of the amazing power of oratory and the remarkable ability of this man to move people with his words. His superb and captivating oratory style has earned comparisons to John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and this historic collection presents words that catapulted his remarkable rise to the American Presidency. It is an unofficial requirement for every citizen to own, to read, and to carry this book at all times-The History Company [the book is no longer listed on the History Company's web site -etl].

_________________________________________________________

"From May 1966, student members of the Communist Party were encouraged to carry copies of Mao's Little Red Book of quotations. Acting under Mao's leadership, these "Red Guards" used his quotations in their mission to weed out intellectuals. With themes such as Correcting Mistaken Ideas and All Reactionaries are Paper Tigers, the quotations became the standard by which all revolutionary efforts were judged."

Here in Texas many independent school districts are recording for use by Social Studies teachers in the future:

FROM: HEB ISD
Presidential Speech - Social Studies Teachers May Show Recorded Podcast

President Barack Obama has announced he will present a special address to public school children on Tuesday, September 8. The U.S. Department of Education, in information provided to school districts, says the president will “challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning. He will also call for a shared responsibility and commitment on the part of students, parents and educators to ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives as American citizens.”
Tuesday was chosen as the day for this address because on that day, much of the country begins class for the new school year.

The Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD will be in the third week of an already busy school year, and many students will be at lunch during the broadcast. September 8 will be a regularly scheduled instruction day in HEB ISD. The district will not show the speech live.

However, the district will record the speech as a podcast and post it on the HEB ISD web site. It can be used as an instructional resource for social studies teachers, and posting it on the web site will also make it available to parents and families who want to view it online. Parents who do not want their children to participate in viewing the podcast should notify their campus principal.

People, when you have this much controversy over a little ole "Students Should Work Hard Speech" you know it's pretty much over for your socialist ass. Even white liberals are waking up from their faux guilt ridden dreams.

Conservatives are being handed a silver platter, they better take it with as much graciousness as possible!

It won’t be anything controversial but will be the beginning of a steady progression of appearances to get the kids used to him as fuhrer

That is the real danger people will say look it was nothing sinister

The MSN.com Propaganda website is running a story about how this speech is a true test of Obammie the Commie’s leadership.

Huh?

A SPEECH to children is a TEST OF LEADERSHIP?

It used to be that being attacked by militants or having to be strong diplomatically against an adversary like the SOVIETS was a TRUE TEST OF LEADERSHIP.

Apparently, when AFFIRMATIVE ACTION reaches politics, the bar is set so low even a baby could crawl over it.

The big thing to worry about isn’t a short speech its what happens over the course of the 180 school year. Thats when the real damage is inflicted incrementally.

That is good news. I don’t have any kids in school but urge those who do to keep them home. They are so impressionable and Barry knows this. He wants to be our king.....and America is waking up to stop him.
